Review: Raw, Extra Virgin Cod Liver Oil

What stories will your kids tell when they grow up?

Will it be how you treated everything with coconut oil like Gus Portokalos used Windex in My Big Fat Greek Wedding? Or the way you filled shot glasses with various immune boosting elixirs? Or how you managed a bed and breakfast on your kitchen counter? Okay, scoby hotel. Same difference.

We do these things because we want the best for our kids, and the hilarious stories they’ll get to tell about us later are just a bonus. That’s why I’m so excited to be partnering with Corganic to tell you about a brand new type of raw cod liver oil, which I believe it is one of the best supplements out there. Unfortunately it’s not even remotely wretched so it probably won’t make it into your firstborn’s wedding toast.

Oh and also? By “brand new type” I mean older than the Vikings.

You see, something magical is happening . . .

An ancient way of extracting cod liver oil has been revived on the old Norse stomping grounds by the Rosita family, whose lineage reaches far back into Norwegian history. Their grandparent’s learned from their great-grandparents, who learned it from . . . well, you get the idea. The final product – extra virgin cod liver oil – is unlike anything else on the market.

What Is Extra-Virgin Cod Liver Oil?

Ahh, good question. Rosita extra-virgin cod liver oil (EVCLO) is produced using a rare, ancient method that does not rely on heat, chemicals, solvents or mechanical devices of any kind. The process yields a fresh, wild and raw cod liver oil that preserves valuable nutrients such as fat soluble vitamins A and D, antioxidants and natural sterols.

Though their exact process is closely held like a secret family recipe, the Rosita’s do offer this insight into how it works:

“The Ancient Norse people observed that the appearance, size and texture of fish livers vary considerably depending on the seasons. For certain seasons, the livers were beautifully plump, with a light cream color and very soft to the touch, ‘bursting’ with oil of a superior quality. During other seasons the livers were smaller, with a reddish hue, firmer to the touch, with very low oil content.

The ancient Norse people also knew both air and water temperature vary from season to season and believed the water temperature influenced the physical characteristics of the liver. As such, they discovered those plump, cream colored oily livers could revert back to their smaller, reddish form by ‘releasing’ the oil they contain. The trigger for releasing their oil was a change in temperature which mimicked specific seasonal changes in water temperature. This was achieved by transferring freshly removed cream colored fish livers to warmer dwellings which had to be at a slightly greater temperature than the cold ocean temperature the livers were previously exposed to. The livers would then naturally and gradually release the raw pale golden oil contained in their cells without any intervention whatsoever! As the oil is released, the livers shrink and revert back to their smaller, reddish appearance. This gave rise to the basic oil extraction principle that the ancients went about perfecting and that Rosita uses today.”

Amazing, right? I tasted EVCLO for the first time two years ago at the Weston A. Price Foundation’s Wise Traditions Conference. At the time, Corganic was working hard to bring it to the U.S., and I’m happy to say I was one the first U.S. customers to place an order. (Or actually, a pre-order. The Rosita’s were still doing extensive testing on how to transport it to ensure maximum potency and freshness.)

Nearly two years later, a bottle of golden, liquid sunshine arrived on my doorstep. It was worth the wait – my kids like its mild, fishy flavor, and I love the great care with which it’s been produced.

Is Extra-Virgin Cod Liver Oil Pure?

The fjords of Northern Norway, where Rosita EVCLO is harvested, are some of the cleanest waters in the world. Though some companies produce cod liver oil from many types of cod mixed together, Rosita uses only the Gadus Morhua, the codfish most sought after for it’s beneficial properties. Their oils are tested often by a number of leading European Institutes, including “Institute of Aquaculture,” a leading internationally recognized aquaculture research institution based within the University of Stirling, Scotland, (United Kingdom), and a number of independent Norwegian laboratories and institutions.

Rosita cod liver oil has been tested for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) including pesticides (such as DDT), industrial chemicals (such as polychlorinated biphenyls, PCBs) and unintentional by-products of industrial processes (such as dioxins and furans). They have also been tested for heavy metals and microbiological contamination. Rosita extra-virgin cod liver oil consistently meets or exceeds the safety standards set by the stringent European Commission and WHO rules on environmental pollutants.

In terms of purity, Rosita is superior in another way as well. Most brands of fish oil – including many cod liver oils – are “purified” using a chemical extraction process at very high temperatures. A good portion of the omegas and naturally occurring antioxidants are destroyed or stripped out, so manufacturers add specific essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants back into the oil. Unfortunately, most of the time they use synthetic vitamins and include artificial ratios of things like DHA and EPA. Though they may seem natural, they’re really not. Extra virgin cod liver oil contains only naturally occurring vitamins and fatty acids. Other than the addition of one drop of naturally derived vitamin E and rosemary oil per bottle to maintain freshness, Rosita’s oil is not altered in any way.

How Does It Taste?

It has a mild fishy taste. Definitely better than most cod liver oils I’ve tried.

This post was sponsored by Corganic. I was already a customer of theirs, but when they offered to send me another bottle of cod liver oil I didn’t say no. Never say no to butter, folks. Also, thank you for supporting companies that go the extra mile to bring us the best.

About Heather

Hi, I'm Mommypotamus. My mission is to help you put delicious, healthy meals on the table, find effective natural remedies for common complaints, make your own fuss-free personal care and home products, and save time and money in the process.

Agreed! Many years ago I used Premier Research Labs CLO but you can’t get it anymore. It was a high quality CLO and had a very mild taste. It was much less fishy than the health food store brands. I am sure this CLO will be just as mild because of its high quality.

My family and I have been taking this oil for about a month. Prior we were taking green pastures. I will say the “mild” fish flavor is not so mild. It does take some getting used to. My 3 year old refuses to take it so I put some on his back every night before he heads to bed (I read about doing this on their website).

This is interesting- and a bit confusing also. Green pastures has always claimed that fermenting the cod liver oil was the traditional way to extract it- yet this company is claiming their way is the traditional way. Have you compared the nutritional breakdown? Are they both considered high vitamin cod liver oils? Or is fclo the high vitamin and evcl is a more “regular” level of a and d? I did look up the pricing- looks like it’s about 3 times as expensive as fclo – which is probably an important factor for those who don’t have an issue with fclo. Having said that- I know many won’t use fclo because of the strong….um flavor…. so having a different product to point them to would be awesome.

I’m really interested in learning more about this. I thought that WAPF recommended FCLO. But this company’s website claims that CLO cannot be fermented due to its lack of sugar/starches. Makes total sense, but I am just confused about the recommendations from WAP and SF specifically for FERMENTED CLO.

I remember my mom giving us spoonfuls of Cod Liver Oil when we were kids. I hated it then, but now I realize and appreciate all the health benefits. Would love to start giving it to my kids and taking it again myself.

I would love to try this! I have four kids. We are not fans of fish at our house. I have been dying to get my littles to try this to get the benefits of K2 for their teeth! Plus overall health. Thank you for the chance to win some!

After practically stalking Mommypotamus and Mama Natural over the last couple of weeks I have wanted to buy a good cod liver oil to try but my oh my are they expensive, especially to my supportive but skeptical husband. We are still in college (and will be graduating this coming July! Yay!) but are planning to start trying to get pregnant in just a couple of months and I am trying to get my body ready. I would love to try a good Cod Liver Oil and Butter Oil!

We use the fermented cod liver oil, but being pregnant and having heartburn.. The taste is too much right now:( hoping this one will be milder! And would be great to introduce my 10 year old to it as well!

just in the meantime – green pasture’s artic mint flavor is pretty bearable, especially when taken at night – much less burping. oslo orange had no fish burp taste to me, so even though i didn’t like the flavor as much, i took it when pregnant. neither was fishy to me.

I would love to win this to try it out for it’s obvious health benefits, but also to see if it will help heal my husbands teeth. 🙂 it’s awesome to see companies making a point to produce things that are actually good for you!!

We are on the GAPS journey with my 3y/o ASD son and it is a crazy expensive diet, but we have to do it, even if I have to stave so my son can heal. We’ve been out of our FCLO for a month simply because it’s just to expensive and I can’t afford to get more right now. If we win this, it would be a God send! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win!

I have been taking Skate liver oil, but my husband has reservations about whether or not it is an environmentally friendly product. It has been a real ordeal trying to find a product that can meet his standards. The fact that this oil is from Norwegian fish, really makes my life easier.

I’ve been researching the benefits of cod liver oil and butter taken together and I’d love to try a really good brand. I don’t want to spend a lot of money on something until I’m sure the taste is mild enough for my little ones though so I’d love to try this. Thanks for the great giveaway!

My son has severe eczema and I have heard wonderful things on the effects Cod Liver Oil has for it. I’ve been searching for the right brand but in the end I’m not sure which one is the best. This brand looks amazing and I would love to try it.

Taking wellness into my own hands. Striving to distance myself from the medical model and meds that docs want to prescribe for symptom relief. My desire is to not mask symptoms but to discover why I have symptoms! I’ve read quite a bit on oils, essential and food grade. I would really like to try this raw, EVCLO and butter as a step in my journey. Thank you for the giveaway, Mommypotamus & corganic!

I would love to win the cod liver oil and butter oil to help my family live a healthier lifestyle! Not sure we can afford to buy them right now, so it would be really fun to win some and be able to “dip our toes in the water”.

I have always heard that cod liver oil is so good for you but it is so nasty that I couldn’t take it without gagging. I would love to see if this is as good as you say!!!! And the butter oil sounds FAB as well!

I have been looking into cod liver oil for sometime now to help a condition that I have, and came across some info in my search that led me to believe it could help a condition of one of my children also. It has been difficult trying to figure out which brand would be best for the both of us. Getting to try one for free sounds great!

My sister just cured my little nephew of 6 cavities with cod liver oil and butter oil. 6 months ago he had 6 cavities. I told her about what I had read about it so she canceled the filing appt and started with this daily. Just last week, she had an appointment and the cavities are gone. The Dentist was confounded. Anyway, I’ve decided to make it part of our routine!

I’ve been wanting to try this oil! I’ve been using FCLO with BO for our family but have heard good things about this product. As a GAPS Practitioner, I always like to try things first before recommending it to others. Thanks for this great article 🙂

I would love to win this because I’ve been looking into cod liver oil for my vitamin d deficiency. Im a night shift RN and I truly struggle with the symptoms of this deficiency. I finally got my Dr to test my vit D level and it is so negligible it won’t even register. I eat a healthy diet and tried the prescription vit d supplement and that hasn’t helped.

My kiddos take the FCLO capsules except my 4 year old who hasn’t mastered swallowing pills yet. He refuses to take it liquid form because of the strong flavor due to the fermenting, I admit I gag on it too. So I am excited to have a milder option I am *hoping* he will take and that I can take without losing my breakfast :).

My 6 year old son and I are in the healing process for heavy metal contamination. Adding extra virgin clo and butter oil that are this pure would help so much in adding the nutrients we need through this process. I appreciate your information and giveaways!

I have wanted to try these products since hearing about them. I can’t take the fermented CLO and I question the quality of the other CLOs out there. I am hoping that this one is high quality and reasonable tasting.

I have wanted to try FCLO for so long but it is way too pricey for our family of 7 who are also on GAPS. $$$ Same with Butter oil. But I have heard they have such great health benefits especially us with leaky guts. I would love to try!

I would love to win because I need something that is just as good as green pastures fclo but tastes better so that my children will actually consume it. They are so picky and I have a 3 year old son that has significant speech and language delays.

I’m curious to know if this is better than Green Pasture’s FCLO? And I’m also curious if you take Spirulina or Clay internally at all? Or seaweed? Those are things that Ramiel Nagel recommends in his book Healing Our Children. Just wondered. Thanks Heather 🙂

I would absolutely love to win this!! We’ve been slowly making the transition to bring more natural and getting the right nutrients in our family (I’m a wife and a mother of two boys and a girl)… I’ve been wanting to purchase fermented cod liver oil but we just can’t afford it right now and my husband is skeptical of the benefits of it so he won’t justify the cost. If I could just get him to try it and see how great it is, it would change his mind I’m sure!! Thanks for all the great info! Love your blog!

I’d love to win because I’ve been hearing about the benefits of cod liver oil for so long now but never pushed myself to start taking it. Now that I’ve got a baby on the way, I should really reconsider passing it down!

We just started FCLO for our family this weekend. I’m actively searching the internet to find ways to get my kids to take it. We got the Green Pastures caramel flavored coconut oil with FCLO/butter oil, and my kids all thought I was crazy when I gave it to them. (I remember feeling that way about my mom with bran as a child.) 😉 Would love to try this one tho see if it’s a better fit for our family.

I have been hoping for some time now that another company would come along and provide some competition with Green Pastures. Dave Wetzel is very rude and I’ve recently discovered dishonest about his ingredients, as well. It make it hard to trust his product. Would love to win this!

I’d love to try this. I’ve been getting Corganics emails for a while and also heard about their cod liver oil two years ago. It just haven’t bitten the bullet yet and committed the money. It’s pretty pricey!

Would love to win this cod liver oil. I try to keep CLO in my house most of the time but often can’t afford the highest quality. I have 4 young kids and I know it’s essential for our overall health. On top of the K2 that I know is needed and for the benefit of healthy teeth as well for our whole family! My husband started having seizures 9 years ago and I know implementing a high quality CLO would be great for him!

As an EBF mama, I want to take it for my beautiful little girl. Start it now and continue once she starts solids… My parents took it as kids and I want to pass it along. Of course, this wasn’t the brand they had then but I love the purity of this! I’d love to try it!

Oh my goodness, I am so incredibly excited about these products! I have tried some cod liver oil that is carried by the natural food grocery chain in my hometown, which my mother had purchased, and I could hardly get it down, in spite of the added citrus flavor! There was no way my picky eating daughters would get near it! I recently splurged a bit and bought butter made from grass-fed cows. I was amazed at the huge improvement in taste compared to the regular butter I’ve been buying for years! I can only imagine how exquisite the butter oil from Corganic is! I am also very happy to hear it did not upset your stomach, as my family and I are all lactose intolerant.

I would love to try the extra virgin cod liver oil and butter oil first because of the purity of the products. That is something that is not transparent about many of the products sold in the U.S. and it’s important to me that I know what is in the food and drinks I give to my daughters, husband and myself.

Another reason I hope to get to try both of these products is that for the past three years I have been fighting an incredibly rare nerve disorder. After four failed surgeries in the past year and a half- one an invasive brain surgery- and numerous procedures and medications, I desperately need to start trying to heal my body as much as possible with whole foods, vitamins and supplements, medicinal herbs, aromatherapy and any other natural healing remedies that will help with my constant exhaustion, weight gain, depression, anxiety and pain. I know the cod liver oil and butter oil are not for any of these issues particularly, but they are outstanding in vitamin content, which is something my body needs (as does my 3-year old daughter who started refusing to eat meat or much of anything else a couple months ago, so I’m worried about her getting enough vitamins and minerals for her health and growth.)

My daughter and I have been taking the green pastures Clo/butter oil blend since she was born. I would love to try something new! I love the story behind how this oil is extracted (or not!), so informative.

I want to win because my daughter, who is 12 months old, has been needing cod liver oil in her life but we haven’t had the money to buy it for her (or my husband and me) So it would be awesome to win this superfood for the health of my family!! Thank you 🙂

I would love to win because giving the best to my family is really important to me. My husband and I are both chronically injured and our daughter is “hyper-sensitive.” So optimum health is even more important to us.

This product would be fabulous overall for our health & gut issues we are starting to fight. But then I noticed that the Corganics website says it’s good for autism. We have 2 beautiful kids in our extended family with autism & several friends who have kids with autism. I’m passing the info along to them too.

I’ve always wanted to try this, but was afraid I’d hate the taste. This actually sounds good! It would be a tremendous help with my arthritis and diabetes, and so strengthening for my immune system, and helping me bounce back from my cancer surgery and radiation treatments! Thank you so much for this chance!

I heard about this company recently so I was so excited to see it pop up in your post! Mommypotamus always wins 🙂 I’m curious how you would compare it to the FCLO (which we’ve been taking). I like how this looks better, but I don’t know if we could afford it regularly. When I first heard of it though, it was from someone who thought it really shouldn’t be fermented, so that scared me a bit and I wish I could buy the EVCLO!

This sounds really great. I’ve been taking a LOT of vit D but I’m looking for a better balance of D, Omega 3’s and vit K. I trust whole food based supplements so much more than what is mostly out there. Can’t wait to try it.

Would love to try this out! Been hearing a lot about it on my Weston A Price facebook group page and am interested to see if there’s a difference in how my body reacts to this process over the Green Pastures FCLO. Thanks for the opportunity!

Would love to win this. Just heard about the benefits of cod liver oil. This would benefit my family greatly. Would you recommend taking a multivitamin with CLO’s? Adding another to the fix will not prove cost effective.

This would be wonderful to try! I’m not sure what the difference in vitamin content there is between this brand and Green Pastures Fermented CLO. I didn’t see any mention of this one being fermented… I can’t afford any at the moment & would live to try this for our family!

We take fclo when we can afford it, so winning this great product would be huge for our family! The fact that the butter oil could possibly be tolerated by those with lactose intolerance is so exciting. I know the benefits are far greater when both are used together, but due to intolerance issues I have never been able to take the BO. I would love to see if we could tolerate this one. Thanks for the opportunity!

My nursing toddler can’t tolerated fermented cod liver oil, so hopefully he will do better with this raw, extra virgin cod liver oil. Without the summer sun, we definitely need to increase our vitamin D intake. What better way to incorporate natural vitamins A and K2 for the healthy trifecta!

I would be so interested in trying this brand. I’ve followed Corganic for a while on Twitter but didn’t realize they were developing a new FCLO! That’s exciting. I know many have asked and I’m curious too how this compares to Green Pastures brand! Used it before but sometimes is had to get over the taste!

I would love to try this – the Organic3 Probiotic worked wonders for my body – – but it is so hard to continually afford real food and supplements at the same time – I can’t do it and so I have given up many of these things and work hard to at least eat well – but in the last couple of months my health has been going back down hill (mostly due to over-working myself) but something like this would be super-healing for me! Thanks 🙂

I fondly (NOT!!) recall i got codliver oil as a kid, every winter – it came in this whitish paste from a tube… now I think I am grateful for it, but it does not erase the memory of the taste 🙂 so, can i win this on one entry???? 🙂

I’ve been leery of trying Green Pastures’ fermented cod liver oil because of some reviews stating it can be hard to swallow. This brand sounds like it might go down a little easier. Would love to try it!

My grandson used to faithfully take the Green Pastures Cod Liver Oil but will no longer take the fermented kind. There is a dramatic difference in his health when he takes cod liver oil vs. when he doesn’t.

My children and I do so much better when we are taking cod liver oil. My 7-month-old’s bowel movements are regular, and my son and I are both more focused. We have been waiting to find a traditionally processed but unfermented oil. We intend to make converts out of everyone!

My family and I like the way we feel when we take cod liver oil, but we don’t like the price of the taste of the health community standard brand. We are really looking to build our immune system for the winter.

What a super giveaway. I too, would love to win this, as I’ve known for a long time about the healing properties of the two products but with a limited budget, and other supplements we need, it’s a bit out of reach for the time being.

We had another brand a couple years ago (just the Cod Liver Oil w/ flavor) but this would be wonderful to have.

I have tried the GP fermented cod liver oil but always had the worst stomach ache shortly after. My husband and two of my children have teeth issues and I have read that the cod liver oil is wonderful for it. So I think we would all have an easier time with this brand.

I’ve heard so many benefits of taking both, I would love to win to give to my kids (and myself) my daughter has the low end of the spectrum autism disorder and my son has ADD, I changed their diet to clean eating during the beginning of the year and was amazed at how drastic a change it made, I would love to be able to heal them from the inside with this also.

I sell homemade (nourishing foods, cleaning things etc that you can make yourself but don’t have the time to). I also buy group orders of FCLO and lots of other bulk items to share with people in my area and others I ship to that I know. I would really love to try the CLO to see if I can recommend it and possibly buy some!

I, like many posters above me, am currently using the Green Pastures brand of FCOD and butter oil and up until this post/give away did not know if there was any comparable option out there. I would love to know more about how they do compare!

LOVE YOUR BLOG and use all of your tips! My son Kaleb was diagnosised with autism about two months ago and I’ve read that this really helps! Crossing my fingers we win! If you have any pointers for a mom of an autistic kiddo. (We didn’t/WILL NOT vaccinate!)

I’m SO EXCITED! My daughter takes FCLO and BO every day and even though she’s only 4, she has to take the pills because the other brand is SO gross. I’m so happy there’s another option now! I can’t wait to try and really hope to win!!

Would love to try it to compare with the other brand. I have not been able to find a recommended dosage of this new product. Is it one tsp per day? And how much butter oil to go with it? I’m trying to calculate how long a bottle would last one person. Thank you for the offer!

I would love to try Corganic’s cod liver oil/butter oil. I’ve been taking FCLO for a couple years and would love to compare the difference. I also think mixing it up every now and then is a good thing!

I haven’t tried this brand, but cod liver oil is very important to my family and I would love to check out this kind instead!! I felt like I only had one option before really. Thanks for this giveaway!

I’ve been trying to heal from several immune issues as well as serious past illnesses and need all the help I can get…. would love to try this ev cod liver oil and see if it helps me regain some health!

I was really excited to see a new cod liver oil out on the market. Unfortunately as I’ve found out they do not stand behind their product and just felt I must warn everyone I know. A friend of mine ordered and spent $80 to improve her health, and the product is horrible and rancid. It appears so far she has no recourse. She would love to have a decent product, but not one that will make her sick.

How do you get your kids (or you/husband lol) to eat it? Do you mix it with anything or do you take it straight? I have a 2 year old and a picky husband so I have a feeling that taking this without gagging or nausea afterward will be difficult for them. (maybe myself too? I took some nordic naturals fish oil with lemon flavor while I was pregnant and it was not pleasant at all.. not sure if that was the product or the pregnancy, or both.) I would love to take this and have read about its benefits but would love to make it as easy on the stomach as possible for myself and my family. Thank you!!

This is the one that I use for my family for a variety of reasons. For example, the FCLO flavor my family prefers is cinnamon, but it’s flavored with essential oil rather than powdered cinnamon. That can be rough on some digestive systems, ours included. This oil is something my kids will take unflavored, which is a win for me. I’m not saying anyone should use one brand over the other, I’m just sharing a product I have used and loved 🙂

It’s minimally processed and I know it doesn’t use high heat, but they haven’t said at what exact temperature it’s molecularly separated so I’m not sure if it’s classified as raw. However, unlike milk and other dairy products, butter oil and ghee can remain intact with a little heat 🙂

Do you have a link to the butter oil that is in the photo? I cant seem to find it anywhere. Also, I know this post is old and when i searched this cod liver oil to buy, it came up with their “new” capsules. Do you take the capsules now or still the liquid and if so, why? Thankyou!!

Yes, I just finished reading it. Corganic does occasionally run sales, but it’s rare. I’ve found that my family does well on about half the “recommended” amount, though, so it’s kind of a wash for us. We also don’t take it everyday, partly because I believe foods are best rotated and partly because I’m a mom of three who sometimes forgets. 🙂

Help me out here – I’ve been feeding my family FCLO for several years because I trusted the recommendation of many bloggers and the Price group – but if the above article is correct I have actually been damaging my family instead of healing them. I’m freaking out a little. Okay a lot. Do you feel like this article is correct? Am I damaging my family?!?

Heather, I would like to start by saying how awesome your blog is. I love all your posts and enjoy following your blog for new entries! I have been a long time follower and started taking fermented cod liver oil because of your recommendation and the recommendations from a few other mommy bloggers. I can’t say I loved how I felt while I was on FCLO, I would always get this heart burn that I never usually get when I am off FCLO. So I tried going off it for a while, the heart burn stopped! And when I try to introduce it back into my supplements, the heart burn would return. Eventually, I gave up FCLO and unopened bottles have been stashed in my freezer ever since. Recently, I came across a report written by Dr. Kaayla T. Daniel, Vice President of the Weston A. Price Foundation. She sent samples of Green Pasture products to different labs and got appalling results in return. Please have a look at the link: http://drkaayladaniel.com/ After reading her report, I felt betrayed and enraged by Green Pastures. I am now planning to start a family with my husband (newly weds) I actually considered trying FCLO again for this reason, but thank goodness I read Dr. Daniel’s report before I dove into taking FCLO again). I noticed you have started advocating Rosita’s EVCLO, is it safe for me to be taking EVCLO to replace FCLO? Will EVCLO have the same problems with oil rancidity? I want to find a safe and healthy source of fat (omega 3, DHA) I can supplement during pregnancy for healthy cognitive growth for the baby. Thanks in advance!

April – You need to have a real good look at her report. She has actually proved nothing. In fact, her report shows that FCLO isn’t rancid. Its rather a bias account, and I am sorry to hear that so many people feel betrayed by GP, when in fact it is DR Kaayla which is betraying people.

i just wanted to know if i can give this one to my 6 mo old baby, i used green pasture fclo for 2 yr old and started when he was 3 mo old and i want to switch to rositas so can i give it to my 6 mo old baby and how much also how miuch for my 2 yr old thanks

Heather, I was wondering if I were expecting and started taking EVCLO/BO would I need to also take a vitamin k2 supplement? Or would the oil blend be enough? I was reading your article about vitamin k shots for infants.

Hi, would you ever use Green Pastures butter oil? I’m pretty put off their FCLO but wonder if the butter oil is still ok…. apparently it’s super concentrated. According to one of the outlets – “If you’ve got plenty of butter in your diet that’s great, but our high vitamin butter oil is VERY high in nutrients. It takes 4kg of cream to yield 1 cup of the nutrients in X-Factor Gold High Vitamin Butter oil.” Do you know if this is true and how the Corganic one compares? Thanks 🙂

I’d like to give this to my toddler; what are your thoughts on the rosemary oil they put in there? I know it’s just a drop, but most places I read that rosemary oil should not be given to children under 10. Thanks!

Now people are saying Rositas EVCLO is possibly contaminated…one of their products has been recently pulled from shelves in Europe. I just bought 2 bottles and me and my family have taken it twice. Now I’m worried about that. I’m tempted to forgo CLO all together. It’s scary to not know what I’m taking! Heather, what does your family currently take?

I know this is an old post. However, I was wondering if this is the only Cod Liver Oil you and your family use? I recnetly purchased 2 bottles of Green Pastures Blue Ice FCLO and ran into the controverdy with it. I am a little leery of continuing to give these to my family even though i spent alot of money on them. What are your thoughts?

Is Rosita cod liver oil safe to take while pregnant? I am concerned only because of the drop of Rosemary oil added, and I have heard to avoid that while pregnant. If you don’t know, do you have any anecdotal evidence that this amount of rosemary oil is safe, or do you know why rosemary oil is supposed to be off limits? (And also I’ve been told to avoid all essential oils taken internally while pregnant). Please advise! Thank you!
